Iran to set Tel Aviv ablaze if attacked: report
2010-08-03
[Al Arabiya Latest] Iran will set Tel Aviv on fire if Israel attacks the Islamic republic over its controversial nuclear program, newspapers on Sunday quoted Iran's envoy to the United Nations as saying.

"If the Zionist regime commits the slightest aggression against the Iranian soil, we will set the entire war front and Tel Aviv on fire," Mohammad Khazai said in the northeastern town of Kashmar, the Farhang-e Ashti daily reported.

The government-run Iran newspaper quoted him as saying that the "noise" about an Israeli attack on the Islamic republic is a "sign of the enemy's fear."


Israel has never ruled out taking military action to thwart Iran's program of uranium enrichment, accusing its arch-foe of seeking to acquire atomic weapons -- a charge Tehran denies.

Iranian officials have frequently warned of a crushing response in the event of an attack either by Israel or the United States, which has led international efforts to bring a halt to Tehran's uranium enrichment work.

#3  Actually, Israel could have some fun with this, at Iran's expense. Whenever Iran threatens Israel, hinting at nuclear weapons, the Israelis should let it be known to the Paleos that the Iranian nukes will wipe *them* all out as well.

The Israelis might even start showing "the horror of nuclear war" videos on a TV channel set up especially for the Paleos. 24 hours a day of movies like "Threads", and endless documentaries about Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

#1  Like they set Baghdad ablaze during the Iran/Iraq war?
Iran is a paper tiger, and it wouldn't even be that if not for the conscious complicity of western journalists and other spies and traitors.
